why do some candidates like bobby kennedy, jack kennedy, even pat buchanan, come out of a campaign learning about something? you actually learn something. and you have an emotion about it because you have been relatively prifed, most candidates have, and you get exposed to people's lives who are very difficult. why do you think romney has avoided that moment where he says, i get it. >> if he had that moment, he doesn't show it. and the secret videotape made back in may is that romney didn't understand that 47%, but that he had contempt for that 47% thap that 47%. that's the killer. that's what the obama campaign have put on television ads endlessly to affirm. as far as mitt romney learning things or not, it seems to me what he's learned most in this campaign, in order to win the nomination, was how to talk the talk, if not the walk the walk, of a right-wing conservative. which he wasn't beforehand. he's learned things ideologically, at least enough how to win the republican primary, but how it's affected him at all, we don't know. and the fact that he hasn't communicated thatle is interesti
